SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Title of Collection: IARPC Principles 

for Conducting Research in the Arctic 

Evaluation Survey. 

OMB Control No.: 3145–New. 

Expiration Date of Approval: Not 

applicable. 

Abstract: The Interagency Arctic 

Research Policy Committee (IARPC) was 

established by the Arctic Research and 

Policy Act of 1984 (ARPA) to facilitate 

coordination and cooperation in Arctic 

research. Now a subcommittee of the 

National Science and Technology 

Council (NSTC), IARPC plays a critical 

role in enhancing scientific monitoring 

and advancing Arctic research through 

the coordination of Federal agencies as 

well as domestic and international 

collaborators. In 2018, IARPC released 

the revised Principles for Conducting 

Research in the Arctic OPP Principles 

for the Conduct of Research in the 

Arctic | NSF—National Science 

Foundation (https://www.nsf.gov/geo/ 

opp/arctic/conduct.jsp) to guide 

research activities throughout the 

Arctic. In 2023, the IARPC’s 

Participatory Research and Indigenous 

Leadership in Research Collaboration 

Team (one of five foundational activities 

in the Arctic Research Plan—IARPC 

Collaborations) (https://

www.iarpccollaborations.org/plan/ 

index.html) reframed these principles as 

SHARE: 

• Sustain and build relationships 

• Humble accountability 

• Advance responsible environmental 

stewardship 

• Effective communication 

These Principles are directed at 

academic and federal researchers 

funded by IARPC agencies but are 

equally relevant to other individuals 

and organizations pursuing or funding 

research in the Arctic. They are 

guidelines for conducting responsible 

and ethical research and they encourage 

respect for all individuals, cultures, and 

the environment. The Principles are not 

intended to supplant existing 

regulations and guidelines; researchers 

should follow federal, state, and local 

regulations, policies and guidelines. 

Research involving human subjects 

must adhere to specific requirements. 

Projects on Indigenous homelands or 

involving Indigenous Peoples should be 

coordinated with Indigenous leadership 

and should follow all applicable 

regulations and local research 

guidelines. 

The rapid changes occurring in the 

Arctic are complex, dynamic, and 

interconnected. Climate change and 

other environmental changes are 

profoundly impacting Arctic 

communities and have global 

consequences. As a result, emerging 

research questions are multidisciplinary 

and are best addressed by multiple 

Federal agencies working closely with 

non-Federal partners. Through a 

targeted approach to cross-cutting 

priority areas, the Interagency Arctic 

Research Policy Committee’s (IARPC) 

Arctic Research Plan 2022–2026 

addresses the most pressing Arctic 

research needs that require a 

collaborative approach and can advance 

understanding of the Arctic and climate 

change, inform policy and planning 

decisions, and promote the well-being 

of Arctic and global communities. The 

plan’s priority areas respond to 

challenges identified by Arctic 

communities, Federal agencies with a 

presence in Alaska or a responsibility to 

understand the Arctic region, Federal 

agencies with Arctic investments, the 

state of Alaska, Tribal and Indigenous 

organizations, and other non-Federal 

entities. 

Every five years, IARPC is required by 

law (ARPA) ‘‘to prepare and execute an 

Arctic Research Plan in coordination 

with the U.S. Arctic Research 

Commission, the Governor of the State 

of Alaska, residents of the Arctic, the 

private sector, and public interest 

groups.’’ The Arctic Research Plan 

2022–2026 is the third plan since IARPC 

became a subcommittee of the NSTC 

and builds from the successes and 

communities of practice established by 

previous plans. It seeks to integrate 

these communities and create crosscutting foci which require a focused 

research effort. 

The IARPC PILR Collaboration work 

focuses on three objectives including 

PILR 1 to fulfill Federal requirement to 

consult with Federally recognized 

Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations. 

The IARPC Principles survey stems 

from PILR Deliverable 1.2 to Evaluate 

the Principles for Conducting Research 

in the Arctic 2018, and update as 

needed based on the evaluation. This 

survey will enable an evaluation of 

understanding and implementation of 

the SHARE Principles among three 

primary groups, Arctic Indigenous and 

local community members and 

leadership, the scientific research 

community, and federal agency 

personnel. 

Respondents: Arctic Indigenous and 

local community members and 

leadership (100); scientific research 

community (100), and federal agency 

personnel (100). 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Respondents: 300. 

Burden on the Public: Estimated 20 

minutes to fill out the form. The 

estimated burden time is 102 hours. 

Dated: December 4, 2023.
